Just a quick note about your repository, sc0ttman -
I tried numptyphysics and it generated two menu items in the Fun section.

Yep, I posted about duplicate menu items above, I will have a hack a jwm_menu_create, see what I can do...

I thought also that it had a neat soundtrack and effects I couldn't get here - perhaps that was Crayon Physics I remember.

Yeah, thats crayon physics, which is really really good!

GnuChess doesn't have a menu item

It's a CLI chess engine that needs a frontend.. the description states this in the PPM (which you can't see yet!)

However I may remove the chess engines from PPM and just offer a complete "xboard+fairymax" bundle, which includes an engine... Maybe also a cboard+gnuchess bundle.. I think that's best..

wbar and wbarCC won't load properly as pets unless via PupControl. When I tried to run wbar control console, couldn't see it start and when I rebooted X I lost my xorgwizard settings.

Both of these packages need cleaning up for Akita, as they work out of the box on Puppy Arcade..

Quote:

All the other games I tried seemed to load fine (except FreeCiv). Sorry that I can't be more diagnostic with my feedback at the present time.
Cheers.

That's great, thanks for testing..

PS I actually PM'ed dave earlier last week to ask if he had an "IceBox" pupplet to showcase his wares - it would be amazing if you could resurrect that pet 'project' if you have it handy.

I will definitely get it in the repo, but have had troubles with auto installing tcl+tk, by listing them as deps - others that I've done work fine I actually included nearly all of them in Puppy Arcade as default - so there is one puplet out there showcasing his apps

What about SoftMaker2008 for an office suite? Still a licensing issue with that?

I uploaded most of it while at my 2nd (less important) job, but could not get enough free time to convert and upload all the openoffice and softoffice stuff... I will do that soon.. I think I have softmaker 2010 lying around, and Barry made a softoffice pet recently.. The only license 'issues' with Softoffice programs are that they require email registration before they will work.

And perhaps gnuGo (I think - over in the MacPup threads I remember it being discussed) - the kids seem really interested in that as a boardgame, better than checkers or chess which surprised me (happily).

Thanks for all your detailed replies, sc0ttman -
I had no idea that one of your Arcade Pupplets had dave (pa) mcclamrock's goodies - you seemed to be churning out versions back then and I just didn't get a chance to try any
Actually, trying to steer clear of exposing the kids to first-person shooters - the collection of games jemimah provided in Fluppy is about our speed (and the HSB/HanSamBen pupplets, of course. Can't forget ol' GamesPup either). Might have been a bit of passive avoidance, if any of your Arcades had something Quake-like the kids would dig out Apologies.

I recompiled the latest ROX-Filer that now uses gtkbuilder. If you use glipper-lite and gtkdialog compiled without glade, you can eliminate libglade now._________________Web Programming - Pet Packaging 100 & 101

I've been using your ROX binary pretty much since you posted it, and have had no problems, the drag and drop columns work fine.. Nice

But I have not re-compiled gtkdialog, and know diddly about glipper (no glip* cmds installed!), but maybe you could start a thread about removing glade as a dep in Puppy, what needs doing and so on, so we can make it an optional package for future puppies... show people the way..

Don, I'll have a look at QuickLaunch 1.6... Which fbreader package do you use? I found an old one, which I lost by mistake, but I will add fbreader into the Akita repo, preferably the smallest, latest, greatest package that works in Akita...

Also, I think I will leave Osmo as is, I like it..
____________________

About the repo, I also added: softmakeroffice-2008-bk, openoffice-2.2.0 and openoffice-3.2..
Plus some small SDL games, like digger, pipepanic.. and some other stuff..

I'll update the htaccess file on the server, so the .pets are 'fancy indexed', so they can be sorted by date, etc...

I will add LibreOffice, the LibreOffice installer as well... Can't test the LibreOffice SHS .pet (150mb) - I don't have enough RAM to uncompress it (apparently).. I'm also very low on disk space, so save files are out of the question...

It may just be a problem with the .pet that I had, so if anyone can show me another LiberOffice package, that I can test, then I'll test that (sfs or pet)..

here is gtkdialog4 (you can try making a symlink to gtkdialog3, but some apps may not work - see barrys blog), the only others are older versions if gnumeric and gtrayicon which wasnt in older puppies at all and ghasher (i think there is a gtkdialog alternative).

If I am to remove Glade, I will need a gtkdialog3 that doesn't use it... I cannot really be bothered to go through bkhome.org myself and find all fixed pets... I might tho...

But even then, Barry only updated SOME pets - then he changed to using 'gtkdialog4' where needed, instead.. So removing gtkdialog3 might not work well anyway... I could PM 01micko I guess - cos Slacko has updates many scripts, cos its *only* got gtkdialog4.. but micks really busy at the moment..

I might see what I can do, need to find alternatives for glurp, can remove the rest (ghunter, ghasher, etc).. Will use 'phash' by Barry instead... Not sure what 'gins' is...

Also used your one-liner to find the following are missing libs: ssindex, ssconvert, fluidsynth, foomatic-rip, bareview, gtmoz...
Most will get removed.._________________Akita Linux, VLC-GTK, Pup Search, Pup File Search

Hmmm, it seems a few things like the Font DPI setter (setxftdpi) also use gins, which needs glade...
I wonder what else needs 'gins'....

And how much space does Glade take up? the libs seem small enough...
Why remove Glade? Is it that slow or something?

** EDIT:

I also noticed that rodin.s kindly updated input wizard and other things, but it means I have to re-add the changes I did, in order to make input-wizard (and others) use 'gtkdialog', not 'gtkdialog2'...

I am also trying out having ONLY gtkdialog4 ...
The one attached by techno a few posts earlier..

I have a /usr/sbin/gtkdialog symlink pointing to /usr/sbin/gtkdialog4, and have used the script below to update everything I can find to use 'gtkdialog', not 'gtkdialog2' or 'gtkdialog3'
